In comparison with Joe Bonamassa, *JOSH SMITH*'s style is more deeply rooted in the blues. However, there's plenty of rock in his music to satisfy all fans of tougher sounds. JOSHSMITH's playing is characterized by his incredible feeling for the blues and a certain playful airiness. He has a warm and mellow voice. Great set, definitely out of the ordinary!

JOSHSMITH is rolling, swinging, and grooving… skillfully pulling out all the stops!

JOSHSMITH is not depending on stentorian sounds to persuade. His blues are flowing through the speakers, relaxed and funky at the same time. Incredible! Nobody should complain about a lack of variety on this album.

“I'm Gonna Be Ready” presents a mature artist with a powerful soul infused vocal style, a talented songwriter and, as Thackery alluded to, a guitar mastery that sets him on a par with artists like Duke Robillard et al.

This excellent CD finds him back with the Blues, where he so obviously belongs. (…) Although I won't argue with anyone who casts Josh as a blues-rocker, he is far more subtle than that term sometimes implies – try 'Sober Up Baby'
for a West Side Chicago influenced blues, and elsewhere there are clearly audible touches of B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, good old soul music – take a listen to the Sam Cooke ­tinged 'AIready Found' or the Stax-flavoured 'Only You' (yes, Josh can sing too!) – and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
